Efeitos de intervenÃÃes por telefone na adesÃo ao recebimento do laudo colpocitolÃgico / Telephone intervention effects on adherence to receive the Pap smear result

Ana Izabel Oliveira Nicolau 27 February 2015 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Estudo desenvolvido com o objetivo de testar os efeitos das intervenÃÃes comportamentais e educativas por telefone no comparecimento das mulheres à consulta de retorno para receber o resultado do exame colpocitolÃgico. Este à um estudo experimental randomizado controlado, realizado a partir de trÃs grupos: educativo (intervenÃÃo educativa via telefone), comportamental (lembrete telefÃnico) e comparaÃÃo (usual â cartÃo de marcaÃÃo). Os dados foram coletados de janeiro a agosto de 2014, no Centro de Desenvolvimento Familiar (CEDEFAM), situado no bairro Planalto Pici, Fortaleza, CearÃ. A amostra totalizou 510 mulheres, conforme os seguintes critÃrios de inclusÃo: ter iniciado atividade sexual, realizar o exame de prevenÃÃo do cÃncer do colo uterino no perÃodo da coleta de dados e possuir telefone mÃvel ou fixo. O instrumento aplicado referente ao inquÃrito CAP (Conhecimento, Atitude e PrÃtica) havia sido validado anteriormente em outro estudo experimental. Para padronizar a intervenÃÃo educativa elaborou-se um roteiro segundo os preceitos da entrevista motivacional. Os dados foram analisados com o auxÃlio do programa estatÃstico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versÃo 20.0. As informaÃÃes referentes ao conhecimento deixaram evidente que, embora, 96,9% jà tivessem ouvido falar sobre a prevenÃÃo do cÃncer do colo uterino, somente 33,7% demonstraram conhecimento adequado. Na avaliaÃÃo da atitude 40,8% foram classificadas com atitude adequada, enquanto a prÃtica revelou 72,2% de adequabilidade. Das 510 mulheres estudadas, 429 (84,1%) retornaram para buscar o resultado do exame, o que totalizou uma taxa geral de nÃo retorno de 15,9%. Entre as 429 participantes, 64,1% compareceram na data aprazada e os grupos educativo e comportamental foram os mais assÃduos. As mulheres que receberam uma dessas duas intervenÃÃes apresentaram 7,3% de nÃo retorno e 6,2 (IC 95%: 3,7-10,5) vezes mais chances de comparecer ao serviÃo em relaÃÃo ao grupo comparaÃÃo. A anÃlise individual das intervenÃÃes provou que ambas sÃo eficazes, jà que a comportamental aumentou a chance da mulher comparecer ao serviÃo em 7,1 vezes (IC 95%: 3,6-14,2) e a educativa, em 5, 5 (IC 95%: 2,9-10,4). As taxas de nÃo retorno foram, respectivamente, 6,5% e 8,2%, contra 33,1% no grupo comparaÃÃo. Portanto, as intervenÃÃes comportamentais e educativas por telefone configuram estratÃgias de base populacional eficazes para o retorno e, assim, o sucesso no rastreamento e seguimento das lesÃes precursoras do cÃncer cÃrvico-uterino. / Study developed to test the effects of behavioral and educational interventions by phone in women on receiving the results of Pap test. It is, therefore, a randomized controlled experimental study conducted on three groups: education (educational intervention by telephone), behavioral (telephone reminder) and comparison (usual â reminder chart). Data were collected from January to August 2014 in the Family Development Center (CEDEFAM), located in the Planalto Pici neighborhood, Fortaleza, CearÃ. The sample included 510 women, according to the following inclusion criteria: already having initiation of sexual activity, take the examination for the prevention of cervical cancer in the data collection period and have a mobile phone or landline. The KAP survey instrument applied has been validated in a previous experimental study. In order to standardize the educational intervention, a guide based by motivational interviewing was formulated. Data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0. Information about the knowledge showed that, although 96,9% had heard about the prevention of cervical cancer, only 33,7% demonstrated adequate knowledge. In assessing the attitude, 40,8% were classified as appropriate and 72,2% had an adequate practice. Of the 510 women studied, 429 (84,1%) returned to check the test results, which amounted to a general rate of no return of 15,9%. Among the 429 participants, 64, 1% attended at the due date, and the educational and behavioral groups was the most frequent. Women who received one of the two interventions showed 7,3% of no return and 6,2 (CI 95%: 3,7-10,5) times more likely to attend the service compared to the comparison group. Individual analysis of interventions proved that both are effective, because the behavioral increased the chance of women attending the service at 7,1 (CI 95%: 3,6-14,2) times and the educational at 5,5 (CI 95%: 2,9-10,4). Non-return rates were, respectively, 6,5% and 8,2%, compared to 33,1% in the comparison group. Therefore, behavioral and educational interventions by phone can be configured as effective population-based strategies for the return, being thus successful in the screening and follow up of cervical cancer precursor lesions.

No 1º estudo identificaram-se a prevalência de cárie dental, da condição periodontal e da fluorose dental e a associação com os fatores socioeconômicos em escolares de doze anos de idade matriculados nas escolas públicas e privadas de ensino em Manaus - Amazonas (Capítulo 1). No 2º estudo foi identificada a associação entre percepção dos pais sobre as condições de saúde bucal dos escolares de doze anos de idade matriculados nas escolas públicas e privadas de ensino em Manaus - Amazonas - com a prevalência de cárie dental, condição periodontal e fluorose dental (Capítulo 2). O estudo se deu com uma amostra probabilística representada por 661 escolares de doze anos de idade, sendo 609 provenientes de escolas públicas e 52 de escolas privadas de Manaus - AM, sendo do tipo analítico, transversal e observacional com delineamento por conglomerados. Para a avaliação da cárie dentária utilizou-se o índice CPOD e para a condição periodontal foi realizada o Índice Periodontal Comunitário baseados nos critérios da OMS. O grau de fluorose foi obtido pelo índice T-F. Um questionário contendo perguntas referentes às variáveis socioeconômicas, à percepção da condição de saúde bucal e à necessidade atual de tratamento odontológico em relação aos seus filhos foi encaminhado e respondido pelos pais. A coleta dos dados foi efetuada por uma única examinadora previamente calibrada (KAPPA ?0,82) e 10% do total da amostra foram reexaminadas, para fins de avaliação da reprodutibilidade. Para a realização da análise estatística foi utilizado os testes qui-quadrado e Exato de Fisher, com o nível de significância de 5%. O estudo apresentou um CPOD médio de 1,89 (dp=2,08) e 35,4% das crianças estavam livres de cárie em Manaus. A maior parte das crianças pertencentes à escola pública, residentes da região não central de Manaus (p=0,0337) e os constituintes das classes sociais mais baixas (p=0,0219) (menor renda e menor grau de instrução da mãe), tiveram relação com uma prevalência maior de cárie dentária. Aproximadamente 8% da população apresentou todos os sextantes com saúde periodontal, enquanto 51,7% e 39,5% apresentaram sangramento gengival e cálculo dental como condição periodontal mais grave. A prevalência de fluorose foi de 15,6% em Manaus, 12,4% apresentaram TF1 e 3,2% TF2. Mais da metade dos pais (60,1%) classificou a saúde bucal de seus filhos como boa e ótima, sendo que 5,9% considerou ruim. Os resultados deste estudo demonstraram que Manaus apresenta uma baixa prevalência de fluorose, no entanto mais da metade dos escolares apresentam experiência de cárie e problema periodontal. Os pais ou responsáveis apresentaram uma visão paradoxal quanto à classificação da saúde bucal de seus filhos, pois embora apresentem necessidade de tratamento, o problema não foi percebido / Abstract: The present study, compound by two studies, covers the theme dental caries, periodontal condition and dental fluorosis related with socioeconomic factors and percepction about dental health in school children aged twelve enrolled in public schools and private education in Manaus - Amazonas. The first study were the prevalence of the dental carie, periodontal condition and the dental fluorosis and the association with socioeconomic factors in school children aged twelve enrolled in public schools and private education in Manaus - Amazonas (Chapter 1). The second study identified the association between parents perception on oral health status of school children aged twelve enrolled in public schools and private education in Manaus - Amazonas - with the prevalence dental carie, periodontal condition and dental fluorosis (Chapter 2). The random sample was represented by 661 children from twelve years of age, being 609 from public schools and 52 from private schools, being of type analytical, observational and transversal with cluster design. For the assessment of dental caries used the DMFT index and for the periodontal condition was conducted the community periodontal index based on WHO criteria. The degree of fluorosis index was obtained by T-F. A questionnaire concerning socioeconomic variables, the perception of oral health condition and the need for current dental treatment in relation to their children was taken and answered by parents. The data collection was performed by a single examiner previously calibrated (KAPPA ?0,82) and 10% of the total sample were reviewed for purposes of assessing the reproducibility. To perform the statistical analysis used chi-square and Fisher's exact test, with significance level of 5%. The study showed a mean DMFT of 1,89 (sd=2,08) and 35,4% children were free of dental caries in manaus. The most of the children belonging to public school, not residents of the central region of Manaus (p=0,0219) (lower income and lower education of mother), were associated with a higher prevalence of dental caries. Approximately 8% of population had all sextants with periodontal health, while 51.7% and 39.5% showed gingival bleeding and dental calculus for periodontal condition more severe. The prevalence of fluorosis was 15.6% in Manaus, 12.4% had TF1 and 3,2% TF2. More than half of parents (60,1%) ranked the oral health of their children as good or excellent, being that 5,9% considered bad. The results for this study demonstrated that Manaus has a low prevalence of fluorosis, but more than half the students had experience of dental caries and periodontal problems. The parents or guardians had a paradoxical vision of the classification of the oral health of their children because they present the need for treatment, the problem was not noticed / Doutorado / Saude Coletiva / Doutor em Odontologia
